Using the Data
==============
The occupations classifications are based on two schemes:

Industrial Classification
The industrial classification used is the Booth-Armstrong classification 
which was developed in the 1880s by Charles Booth and modified by 
W.A. Armstrong (1972).

Social Class Classification
The social class classification used is based on the Registrar General's 
"Classification of Occupations : 1951" and uses the modifications 
suggested by W.A. Armstrong (1972).

See W.A. Armstrong, 'The use of information about occupation', IN E.A.
Wrigley (ed.),  "Nineteenth century society; essays in the use of 
quantitative methods for the study of social data" (Cambridge, 1972), 
191-310.
